With a Bachelor of Arts in both English and Music and an MFA in Creative Writing, I've dedicated my life to exploring the intersection of storytelling and history. My journey as an author has led me to write award-winning historical romances centered on women's boxing and alpine climbing. I've also contributed articles and literary short stories, and I'm proud to have reviewed for the Anchorage Daily News and the Historical Novel Society. As a speaker, I thrive in casual settings where I can share quirky insights about women's history and romance writing, often peppered with humor. My experience includes speaking at international conferences, and I'm a member of organizations like HNS and The Regency Fiction Writers. I love adventure—whether it’s motorcycling through the Yukon or diving all five Great Lakes in under 24 hours. I'm also a co-founder of Paper Lantern Writers and have worked with MadLaw Media on two adventure documentaries. Now, as a mom, I seek smaller adventures but remain passionate about my work and the stories I want to tell.
